Arsenal fans have hit out at the Gunners after the north Londoners lifted the Emirates Cup despite losing to Sevilla.

Arsene Wenger's men were beaten by La Liga outfit 2-1 on Sunday but still finished joint top of the group on nine points.

The format of the competition means goals also count as points. Because Arsenal beat Benfica 5-2 and notched one against Sevilla the Gunners edged the Spanish side on goal difference, winning the group.

Club captain Per Mertesacker lifted the trophy at full-time.
